Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7300 S Oakley Ave in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, constructed in 1952, has a concerning record over the past seven years. The property, which is currently owned by "TAXPAYER OF", has experienced an alarming total of 2,228 building violations, averaging over 318 violations per year. The building's service request history shows 8,731 total requests, with 18 of those originating from the property itself, indicating most requests are related to other properties or general city services. There have been 338 building permits issued, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance or improvements, though the high violation count raises questions about their effectiveness. Environmental issues have also been a concern, with 10 enforcement actions and 33 complaints recorded, along with 3 house share violations. The most recent service requests from early 2026 primarily relate to animal welfare and waste management issues, including multiple reports of injured animals and a blue recycling cart request, though these appear to be more related to the general neighborhood rather than specific building problems. One abandoned vehicle complaint from June 2026 remains open, suggesting it has not yet been addressed.

Risk rating

How 7300 S Oakley Ave 2's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
